Seeing A Lot Of Spiders In My House Spiritual Meaning

“The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings’ palaces.” – Proverbs 30:28

Spider’s graceful silk webs strung with intention feel like a sign to me.

Spiders have a creative power that is something we are all capable of wielding.

When a spider is in my house, I take it as a sign to be more present to the creative energies.

Spiders also appear when I am on the cusp of making changes or undergoing a transition.

They always strike right before I am going to start something new.

Like little messages to my soul that I get this one life and it is up to me alone, much like the spider builds a web as willfully formed with every new spiral.

Although, let us face it creation is not always a given smooth ride.

Like a spider mending its web after it has been damaged, I also have had to confront and surmount my obstacles.

The web of the spider is a symbol that says it all for balance — creation and destruction, chaos rather than order.

It is the time for me to seek out that balance in my own life, be deliberate about what I am constructing and make sure it actually reflects who I am.

It is about guardians

“Be still, and know that I am God.” – Psalm 46:10

I have seen spiders many times in the corners between my walls or doorways and windows.

Thresholds are considered sacred in many spiritual traditions, the boundary between that which is familiar and unseen, of the world here and now to a realm above or beyond.

The spiders that I find in these places are the sentinels of the thresholds and passages on which they reside.

While that has been my experience, spiders, in general, are quiet observers of the tiny energies of my corner.

They seem to feel disturbances, both physical and spiritual and often prefer places where they can have a better overview.

If a lot of spiders keep showing up, I get the clue that it might be time to spiritually protect and cleanse my space.

I have also learned that spiders can teach me to see other thresholds in my life — those times of change, the gaps between hope and fear.

They challenge me to be more mindful of the energies I welcome into my life, home and heart. They tell me to take my time, to preserve the sanctuary within and without.

It is about hidden anxieties

“The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear?” – Psalm 27:1

Few of us can say a spider has never spooked us.

The unimaginable way they move, their alien presence and, in some cases, biting as well can be quite unnerving.

The truth is that in the spiritual world, fear is a teacher. I have also come to believe that spiders are a call for me to face some fears in my life.

Spiders are a bit like that, lurking in the dark and quickly darting out, then disappearing.

They reflect the fears that sit nestled in my brain doldrums.

They hide until something brings them out and I have to deal with it, no longer able to ignore what they contain.

Now, the spider is a representation of those fears that want to be accepted and alchemized.

What I have benefited from doing is monitoring my instantaneous response when a spider appears.

Do I freeze, flee or kill it?

It is showing me how I handled fear in other areas of my life.

Confronting the spider, I am really confronting the fears that prevent me from opening up to a deeper spiritual existence.

It is about life and death

“For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one.” – Khalil Gibran

Spiders as a spiritual representation of the cycle of life and death.

When they show up in my home, I know that something big is about to happen.

And I am sure that the transformation is not as rosy all of the time.

It usually entails releasing the old to create a way for the new.

It can be painful, and rightly so because it is about canceling the old but also for advancement.

When I am grateful to find those other spiders in the house, it is a sad and beautiful day of endings but also new beginnings.

I have learned to accept that it is just part of life, and each end leads the way to a new beginning.

It is about interconnectedness

“You are never alone. You are eternally connected with everyone.” ― Amit Ray

Among the many things that I have marveled at in spiders are their webs.

The web symbolizes how everything in life is connected. Each string holds up the entire web.

Humanity is also a network.

Our every action sends waves of energy to affect others.

Given that, I am more aware of the ways in which my connections shape me.

It is about timing

“Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.” – Psalm 27:14

Spiders are masters of waiting.

They spin these complex constructions and then lie in wait, sometimes for hours, days or even weeks at a time, as insects pass through their web.

It is never inactive patience but one that waits eagerly if I have spiders that join me in my home and later inspire some insight into why I could ease for a moment to respect time outside of myself.

Through sobriety, I have learned that real patience is a deep spiritual power.

It is having the patience to wait it out for a bit and when your moment arrives, you can seize on it.

This wisdom is what the spiders embody and why their presence makes me stop for a minute to remember that life moves slowly.

Patience is also about being present in the moment.

Spiders do not haste when weaving.

Take your time making sure every strand is positioned.

It is about the spiritual realm

 “Wherever you are, be there totally.” – Eckhart Tolle

When spiders show up around my place, I think of them as spirits coming through to give me a message from the other side.

Sometimes, spiders would appear during pivotal spiritual experiences.

Spiders are in my house to let me know that I am not alone. And that my ancestors exist as spirits pointing out a way.

It is important to meet this connection respectfully, so if I think that the spiders in my home are somehow crossing with spirit.

It is about trust

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.” – Proverbs 3:5

I am pretty sure spiders are connected with my intuition.

So whenever a spider turns up in my house, I choose to listen to my intuition.

Intuition takes practice and trust.

The more I listen to what the voice inside me says, the better my progress in life has proven.

Therefore, the spider is telling me my intuition rocks.

So it is always a good idea to follow that and not take another opinion.
